Packers Stay Optimistic on MarShawn Lloyd for 2026

The Green Bay Packers have not used a 2026 draft pick to replace departing running back Emanuel Wilson, suggesting the team still believes in rookie MarShawn Lloyd’s upside. Lloyd, who has played only one regular‑season game due to a string of injuries, is being watched closely by running backs coach Ben Sirmans, who praises Lloyd’s improved physical condition and readiness to contribute if healthy. tbzikra.com

With Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks already on the roster, Lloyd could secure a backup role and eventually a spot on the 53‑man roster if he stays healthy. The Packers’ decision to keep Lloyd on the radar underscores their hope that he can finally break free from his injury bug and add playmaking ability in the backfield.
